shows how non-perpetrators can be successfully prosecuted
and sentenced. Brandon has already served over a decade of
a life sentence without parole in a California prison. This

Kenneth Richey

In June 1986, Kenneth Richey
was arrested for setting a fire which took the life of a
small child. Since then, facts have turned up forged,
witnesses have reported that they lied during the trial,
and new evidence has turned up in Richey's favor. Richey
has been on death row for over 20 years. More info

Brian Charles Sellers

Brian Charles Sellers, 23, a
student at the University of Alabama, was charged with
felony murder after a man had heart attack and died after
Sellers ostensibly tried to break into his house while
naked and drunk. We can find no current information about
Sellers, leading us to think felony murder charges may have
been dropped. More info

James David Mitchell

the prescription drug OxyContin. The victim put a belt
around his own arm while allowing his friend to inject him
with the drug. The victim died and the friend, James David
Mitchell, was charged with felony murder. More info

Jonathan Miller

A 15-year-old bully is
challenged to a fight by a bigger and stronger 13-year-old
neighbor. Jonathan struck the boy on the back of the head,
severing an artery in the 13-year-old's brain. Two days
later the boy was taken off of life support and died. We've
all known bullies. Some we known have turned out to be
responsible adults. Is a life term for an immature boy
justice? More info
